3-DAY ITINERARY IN HO CHI MINH CITY 🇻🇳

DAY 1
Kick off your Ho Chi Minh City adventure with a wild ride! Start things off with a Mekong Delta Tour (tours usually depart from hotels around District 1, and pick-up starts at approx. 7:30 AM). You’ll get to cruise on boats, snack on fresh tropical fruit, and vibe with locals 💦🍍.
Next, stroll down Nguyen Hue Pedestrian St (Nguyen Hue St, District 1, open 24/7) – this place is always buzzing! Watch skaters, catch free street shows, and snap that iconic People’s Committee Building selfie.
Just before sunset, head to Ho Thi Ky street food market (Ho Thi Ky St, Ward 1, District 10, open daily till late). This spot is foodie heaven – slurp up Vietnamese pizza, snag loaded bánh mì, or try sweet coconut jelly. Trust us, your tastebuds will thank you! 😋

Snap selfies at the Notre Dame Cathedral (01 Cong Xa Paris, Ben Nghe, District 1; outside visits as renovation continues) and dive into retro feels at Saigon Post Office next door (2 Cong Xa Paris, District 1, open 7AM–7PM).
Bookworms, don’t skip Book Street (Duong Nguyen Van Binh, District 1, open 8AM–10PM) – perfect for coffee and chill 📚☕
